Haha, I tell my nosey "friends" I drive a high compression ratio modded all wheel drive for better traction Corolla

 

They must be talking from a stylistic perspective. Yeah it has 4 doors, 4 wheels too. It's not the largest car in the brand. The headlights are quirky too.

Of course both the IS and the Camry have twice as much displacement and more than twice as many HP under the hood. I wonder how they stretch that one.

 

It might be an upgrade or compliment for us, but certainly not for LS owners...

 

haha...one day i called my freinds audi A4 a jetta on steroids....

a few days later one of my pother freinds called my car a corolla on steroids i was like wtf man? just kinda an inside joke.

but i haven't seen the commercial yet

 

well its just like jeremy clarkson calls porsches, VW Beatles with running shoes

 

I see it too. That sucks.

They made the IS take one for the team.

 

Lol. Sometimes I just have to laugh at what people get flustered or will rant about.

 

The implication being....The IS is just a modified corrolla... like the ES is just a heavily modified Camry.

 

I am not sure what you guys are seeing. I see the new Civic with a Toyota front end

 

Wow. Unbunch your panties people. Saying that the Corolla has IS styling cues isn't a value judgment. It's still a good, nice, luxurious car. If you're gonna let a little marketing wind you up, maybe you should reevalute your priorities.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't care less. I don't drive/buy cars as status symbols. I buy them for what they can do. My GTO looked like a G6/ Cavalier/ Sunfire/ Monte Carlo but it ran the doors off of everything that ever tried to race me. My IS looks pretty, is comfortable, has all sorts of nice features, and will be great in the snow (even if it is slow as sin) I don't really care if someone tells me it looks like a Corolla. Even if I did, I could point to about 100 different things (sunshade, AWD, AFS HIDs, touchscreen MFD, dual zone, heated/vented seats.........) and ask "Can your Corolla do this?" and be done with it.

But I don't. Because I'm not insecure. You shouldn't be either.

 

who cares????

 

I saw that commercial last night, And couldnt believe what I just heard. Cars having babies now.

 

Uh... isnt the GTO just a G6 with a bigger motor anyway?

 

No, the G6 is a GM Epsilon based car (like the Chevy Malibu and Saturn Aura). The GTO is based on the Holden Monaro, an Australian car (not Epsilon based).

 

i havent not seen the commercial or any ad? where can i see it? youtube? the new corolla doesn't look like IS, it looks like upgraded SCION TC on the front.
